What's in the box

  • D12 VR Microphone
  • Product Description

    The AKG Pro Audio D12 VR is a reference large-diaphragm dynamic microphone with cardioid polar pattern. Designed specifically for kick-drum recording applications, the microphone has a thin diaphragm to enhance the low frequency performance. Its warm sound is realized by the original C414 transformer, especially impressive at high signal levels. The D12 VR features three active filter presets to match its sound shape with the kick drum's character. When activated, the output level is automatically reduced by 10 dB. The filter settings can be controlled using a switch on the microphone body. Without phantom power, the microphone operates in passive mode and delivers the instruments pure sound.

      Wow, you can never use a better kick-drum mic!!!
      I do pro audio, and I have both the beta 52a and akg d112, but i wanted something more, and simple enough to use.. and bam! This mic does the job!
      Listen, this mic will blow any other low frequency microphone out of the water, guaranteed!

    • Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022
      This is by far the best purpose built kick drum mic I’ve ever used. At the flat setting, it sounds like your kick drum, for better out worse. It’s not dull or flat; it’s big and true; it’s a very high resolution capture of what your kick sounds like. This will not only let you hear the nuances of your head choice and tuning, but it allows maximum flexibility for an engineer to tailor the sound with EQ and other processing to suit the music. No pre-EQ’d cliches here. As for the phantom-powered EQ pre sets, they’re tastefully implemented for those who need an out of the box sound in a pinch. The mic sounds “big” and can handle the highest SPLs at the front head port without any distortion. It looks cool too. This is, in my opinion, the new benchmark in kick drum mics. It’s expensive but it’s versatility and quality justifies the cost.
